Gameplay

The gameplay is a variation of the Tetris concept. Blocks descend from the top of the screen as tetrominos. However, rather than the objective of filling horizontal lines with blocks, the player aims to match the colors of the descending blocks to those of blocks already on the game board. When three blocks of the same color are matched, blocks disappear from the board, in a way reminiscent of the game Dr. Mario. Also, unlike in Tetris, the squares in the tetromino blocks aren't always adjacent to other squares; some only connect to other squares at the corners.

In the United States, it was the top-selling NES and Game Boy game in January 1994,[11] and the top Game Boy game in February.[12] In the United Kingdom, it was the top-selling NES game for eight months in 1994, in March[13] and then from May[14] through summer[15][16][17] and autumn[18][19] to November.[20] It was also the top-selling Game Boy game in August 1994.[17]

Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the SNES version an 8 out of 10, saying that "If you were a fan of the first one, then this one will definitely please." They particularly praised the backgrounds and the two-player mode.[6]

Reviews of the NES version were more mixed. The magazine Game Players, who reviewed the NES released in February 1994, called Tetris 2 "a disappointing attempt for puzzle fans who have patiently waited for this sequel."[7] Famitsu gave it a score of 21 out of 40.[3] Famitsu also gave the Game Boy version a 23 out of 40 score.[4]
